As described above, sector first code can sequentially be programmed with track with multiple and different programming operation be in progress it is every
The life cycle progress of a sectors status classification is potentially rationed the power supply or the energy of other damage events to provide detection and respond
Power.For example, sectors status position can be applied in combination individually or with ECOUNT values to detect as the sectors ERASED are configured as
READY and the potential event of rationing the power supply occurred.In the example shown in Figure 2, by programming ECOUNT values in a sequential manner
With first group of three mode bit(For example, the first sectors status indicator(2:0), (first compiles these sector first code instructions READY
Journey)Occur to configure given sector with READY programming operations.But if Memory Controller 22 fetches instruction ECOUNT
Value is programmed and the unprogrammed sector first code of first group of mode bit, then this can send out thing of rationing the power supply to Memory Controller 22
The signal that part may have occurred and that before the second programming operation for READY sectors status programming operations.This can be such as
Fruit is in the first sectors status indicator(2:0)When locating to ration the power supply when programming state position, in this case, memory control
Sector is classified as the sector newly wiped and again in the first sectors status indicator by device 22 processed(2:0)Locate programming state position
The sector newly wiped is identified as the empty or sectors READY.
In addition or in alternative solution, sectors status position or hyte(From least significant bit to higher significance bit)Sequence compile
Each life cycle process that journey allows sectors status to classify is realized with two different programming operations, described two different
Programming operation can be tracked potentially is rationed the power supply or other damage events with detecting.For example, programming the second He in a sequential manner
Three mode bits of third group(For example, the second sectors status indicator(5:3)With third sectors status indicator(8:6)), sector
Mode bit indicates FILLING (the first programmings)Occur to configure given sector with FILLING programming operations.But it if deposits
Memory controller 22 retries sectors status position from sector identification head/record, wherein dibit is programmed but third group position(Example
Such as, 111_111_111_111_111_111_111_111_000_000)It is not programmed, then this can be to Memory Controller 22
Send out the signal that the event of rationing the power supply may occur before the second programming operation for FILLING sectors status programming operations.
If this may be in third sectors status indicator(8:6)Locate to occur in the case of rationing the power supply when programming state position, at this
In the case of kind, Memory Controller 22 show that sector is the conclusion of sky sector, and again in the second sectors status indicator
(5:3)With third sectors status indicator(8:6)Locate sector of the programming state position sector to be classified as currently filling.
Equally, if the 4th and the 5th group of three mode bits(For example, the 4th sectors status indicator(11:9)With the 5th fan
Zone state indicator(14:12))It is sequentially programmed to indicate PREVIOUS SECTOR BEING ERASED and PREVIOUS
SECTOR QUALIFIED ERASE programming operations have occurred, then and the wherein the 4th(Rather than the 5th)Hyte be programmed (for example,
Any of sectors status position 111_111_111_111_111_111_000_000_000_000) fetches, this will send out thing of rationing the power supply
The signal that part may occur before PREVIOUS SECTOR QUALIFIED ERASE programming operations.If this may be
In the 5th sectors status indicator(14:12)Locate to occur in the case of rationing the power supply when programming state position, in this case, deposit
Memory controller 22 show that sector is the conclusion of the sector of filling, and again in the 4th sectors status indicator(11:9)With
5th sectors status indicator(14:12)Place programming state position indicates that previous sector qualification is wiped free of to classify sector.
In a similar way, if the 6th and the 7th group of three mode bits(For example, the 6th sectors status indicator(17:
15)With the 7th sectors status indicator(20:18))It is sequentially programmed to indicate PREVIOUS SECTOR ERASED
COMPLETE and ERASE COMPLETED programming operations have occurred, then wherein the 6th(Rather than the 7th)Group position is programmed
Any of mode bit fetches (for example, 111_111_111_111_000_000_000_000_000_000), this sends out the event of rationing the power supply
The signal that may have occurred before ERASE COMPLETED programming operations.If this may be indicated in the 7th sectors status
Device(20:18)Locate to occur in the case of rationing the power supply when programming state position, in this case, Memory Controller 22 obtains fan
Area is the conclusion of PREVIOUS SECTOR QUALIFIED FOR ERASE, and again in the 6th sectors status indicator
(17:15)With the 7th sectors status indicator(20:18)Place programming state position indicates that erasing operation is completed to classify sector.
Finally, if the 8th and the 9th group of three mode bits(For example, the 8th positioning indicator(23:21)With the 9th state
Indicator(26:24))It is sequentially programmed to indicate that COMPRESS (the first programming) and COMPRESS programming operations have occurred, then
Wherein the 8th(Rather than the 9th)Group any of position programmed state position fetches (for example, 111_111_000_000_000_
000_000_000_000_000), this sends out the signal that the event of rationing the power supply may occur before compressing programming operation.This may
If in the 9th sectors status indicator(26:24)Locate to occur in the case of rationing the power supply when programming state position, in this feelings
Under condition, Memory Controller 22 show that sector erasing operates completed conclusion, and is indicated again in the 8th sectors status
Device(23:21)With the 9th sectors status indicator(26:24)Place programming state position indicates that squeeze operation is completed to classify sector.
As described herein, identification state position in sector can be stored by controller 22 and be used for defining and emulating EEPROM systems
The life cycle of sector in system matches(align with)Unique sectors status update step.In order to complete this,
The classification process of each sector(For example, from ERASED to READY)It is marked so that their resistance to limits by two different programming operations
Electricity.If the second programming operation can successfully identify its qualification, the failure programmed on first step can be allowed.Pass through
Two programming steps are used to each new sector classification process, can detect and avoid the problem of rationing the power supply.
As it will be appreciated, the one or more sectors or block that are recorded during emulation EEPROM operations may have and cannot solve
Programming certainly or erasure error.In this case, the sector of failure is declared as invalid and is operated from emulation EEPROM
It abandons so that this sector is automatically skipped subsequently through flash memory array.This is referred to as sector be dropped or dead.For
Skip dead sector, the disclosure selected embodiment provides the sector identification side of dead sector that can be in automatic tracking system
Case.For this purpose, each sector identifies that head/record storage one or more drift marker, the drift marker allow forward and reverse
The warning of dead sector will be encountered by sector and sending out.
Referring now to Fig. 3, it is illustrated according to the selected implementation of the disclosure and identifies first code (for example, 312- using sector
314) with multiple flash array sectors in the EEPROM simulating schemes for skipping dead sector in searching for and transcribing sequence automatically
310,320,330,340 block diagram 300.In the first sector 310(Sector 0)In, first code includes identifying the sector for storing
State(For example, ERASED, FILLED etc.)Sector identification state position state bit fields 312, for specify back through
The existing of any upcoming dead sector to be skipped during sector reversely skips field 313, for specifying in forward direction
Field 314 is skipped by the existing forward direction for any upcoming dead sector to be skipped during sector and for depositing
Store up the additional position 311 of the record of the first sector 310.In addition to various fields are instructed to the certain of " not minding " value X wherein
Dead sector(For example, 320)Outside, stateful bit field is similarly organized in other flash array sectors 320,330,340(For example,
332、342), reversely skip field(For example, 333,343), forward direction skips field(For example, 334,344)And addition record word
Section(For example, 331,341).
In the described example, in the second sector 320(Sector 1)The erasing at place unsuccessfully causes the second sector to be considered as dead
Sector.In order to avoid dead sector 320(Sector 1), it is used for third sector 330(Sector 2)Sector identify position/record 332-
334, which are programmed at reserve migration attribute field 333 storage, reversely skips code value RSKIP=1, to indicate any reversely to search
Suo Xulie 361 is in processing current sector 330(Sector 2)It skips later(335)Single sector, to avoid dead sector 320(Sector
1)And enter directly into next running sector 310(Sector 0).In order to avoid from opposite or transcribe the dead sector 320 in direction
(Sector 1), it is used for the first sector 310(Sector 0)Sector identification position/record 312-314 be programmed to forward direction deviate mark
To code value FSKIP=1 is skipped before being stored at will field 314, the first sector is being handled to indicate that any forward direction transcribes sequence 362
310(Sector 0)It skips later(315)Single sector, to avoid dead sector 320(Sector 1)And enter directly into next fortune
Make sector 330(Sector 2).In a similar way, remaining sector identification first code, which is programmed to provide, reversely skips code value RSKIP
=0 and forward direction skip code value FSKIP=0 to indicate not adjacent dead sector so that reverse search and forward direction transcribe sequence can be with
Enter directly into next adjacent sector.
In order to identify the number of sectors to be skipped, it may include being assigned to each jumped that reversed and forward direction, which skips field,
The multiple positions for the sector crossed(For example, 2).For example, if inverse direction can have maximum value be two sectors be skipped and
Two positions are assigned to each sector being skipped, and are skipped then instruction is not needed sector by RSKIP=1111(Or RSKIP=0).
Equally, RSKIP=1100 will indicate that an adjacent sector should be skipped(Or RSKIP=1)And RSKIP=0000 will indicate
Two adjacent sectors should be skipped(Or RSKIP=2).
In order to avoid from dead sector location information of the storage for fetching and referring to and passing through the calculating expense of hardware handles
With, complexity and delay, the reversed and forward direction in the first code of the disclosure selected embodiment Direct Programming sector skips code or partially
Move value of statistical indicant so that automatic sequence can from earliest to it is newest by sector for it is transcribing and reversely be used for record search

Emulation mode, referring now to Fig. 6, it illustrates skipped according to the selected embodiment of the disclosure for programming reversed and forward direction
The simplified schematic flowchart 600 of the various methods of value.In the described method, as erasing operation is applied to selected fan
Area handles during the forward direction of the array of flash sector transcribes processing and starts from step 601.If sector erasing operation failure
(Determine 602 failure result), then handle and the FSKIP values in the sector of the previous qualification with jump value be programmed into and to be located
Reason is with the sector for the next qualification compressed(For example, non-dead sector).It is next with the compression of the sector of next qualification
The sector of a qualification programs to indicate compressive state its mode field(At step 606), and squeeze operation is to next
It is executed on record in qualified sector(At step 608).
At some subsequent point, erasing operation executes on the sector of next qualification.This can be happened at reverse search
During operation.Until such erasing operation occurs, the processing of the sector of next qualification lies on the table(Determine 610 negative knot
